Saturdays

Last Saturday I had the privilege of attending both the Joffrey Ballet and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert. I had plowed through a tough week and my intuitive husband kidnapped me for the day and took me with him to his work places of the day. I met one of his long-time coworkers – a harpest – in the carpool, who I don’t think I’ve ever met. We picked up my niece from UIC and she sat with me in awe of the Auditorium Theatre. John, Sam, and I met up with Simon at restaurant, eating sushi and talking about college. Simon went off to work, Sam went back to study, and John and I went to best buy looking at video cameras. I learned how to take a video on my little pocket camera to I could capture the Occupy Wallstreet/Chicago protestors that we ran into looking for parking. And the piece d’resistance – John playing the Mahler 4 symphony with the CSO. Not at thing could have been better to remind me that life is rich, and that I can remember to take cues from the world around me, instead of having to figure everything out by myself!
